Hmmm...just like people sometimes eat chicken and still call themselves veggie.  I personally don't think anyone that eats eggs and dairy should be called veggie, but that is my personal opinion.  Eggs and dairy are just as bad, or even worse.  I guess it depends on WHY people choose not to eat certain things.  Personally, I'd rather be undefined and not fill pinned to an actual category.  I do eat fish and seafood, but I do follow the guide from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and makes responsible choices when I do choose to eat it.  I consider myself some sort of veggie.  I do not eat meat, poultry, eggs or dairy.  Just fish...sometimes.  I don't eat meat or animal products for ethical reasons and the horrible abomination known as a factory farm.  There is no way I can selfishly eat that stuff knowing what horrible things are done to those animals.  It isn't right.  And pollution and it's wasteful and....well, lots of reasons (health is probably at the bottom, if it even makes the list).  I don't, however, think that there is anything wrong with eating meat.  That is why I still eat fish although I do limit my consumption.  One day, when I have a yard, I will raise my own chickens for eggs.  Can't eat the ones from the tortured chickens that they sell in stores.  One day I hope to only eat the fish I catch myself....Just haven't gotten there yet.  Hope this gave you a little insight as to why some people make the decisions they do. 

Any pescetarians out there that are veggies for ethical reasons, you may want to check out this link.  It will help you make responsible choices about the fish you do eat.  They have pocket guides

Are these serious answers????  Oh goodness.    Here are some of my favs.....

Into the Wild

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Leaving Las Vegas

I've been taking phentermine since October, but haven't really been able to lose any weight.  I've lost about 10 pounds.  The phentermine makes me feel sick (I tend to eat to relieve a sick feeling) and makes it impossbile to exercise.  If I try just walking up a hill, my heart beats out of my chest and I nearly pass out.  Everyone around me loses tons of weight on it though.  My sister lost 30lbs in 2 months and my boss lost 20lbs in a month.  I guess it made it so they basically ate nothing at all.  I wouldn't recommend taking ANY diet pills.  I've been working out a LOT and have noticed so much better results and most importantly I feel so great and energized and don't have that horrible sick feeling anymore.

When I do make it to the gym which is usually 2-4 times per week, I do 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by 30 minutes on the treadmil with 5 minutes of walking at an incline and 2-3 minutes of jogging intervals.

I also use Jackie's one-on-one workouts occasionally, but really need to use those more consistently.

I know it's not Monday yet, but I weighed in at 145lbs today.  Yes!  That's a new low for me and it was my goal for this week.  I've lost 15lbs since moving here in July.

I wish the person I'm madly in love with was single and didn't have a girlfriend.

Ha!  This post made me crave sushi so I had a rainbow roll for lunch today.  I totally feel your pain.  I ate four hours ago and I am still incredibly full and a little bloated in the stomach.  Personally, I feel that the bloating is from the rice and not the sodium.  Plus, I'm craving food even though I'm stuffed. 

I am obsessed with Boca meatless crumbles. I make everything with them. They have only 60 calories and 13g of protein per serving and I pay about $3.50 for a box of six servings.

Did you make this yourself?  Or did you buy it in a restaurant?  Because I used to work at Subway (many, many years ago) and I can tell you we put TONS of mayonaise in the tuna.  It was gross.  If you're not making it at home, it's likely NOT healthy.  The calorie count is 530 and 31 grams of fat according to this site.  If you made it yourself, it's likely healthy because you can control how much mayo you put in.

^^^^^^Seriously!   Or just kind of twisted.

Well, sushi makes me feel full as well.  However, let's think rationally about this.  Your sushi rolls probably had around 500 calories.  I seriously doubt it made you gain any weight at all or wrecked your diet in any way.  I mean, how many calories do you normally eat for lunch??? 

Oh my goodness.  Thank you everyone for such wonderful ideas.  I was beginning to think I was just hopeless, but I guess I just seriously lacked proof-reading skills. 

Ewww...no.  I can't do fat for some reason.  It doesn't matter what kind of personality that have, just can't do it.

Let me elaborate.  He's slept with quite a few women in the past.  He is an extremely outgoing person and definitely a flirt.  He is my best friend and says so himself, but he cheated on his girlfriend to be with me.  That concerns me.  I guess I've always gone with a safe bet in the past.  This time it is different.  I can't tear myself away though, I feel like a foolish child for going with my heart instead of my head.

My guess is that you aren't eating enough fat.  At least 15% of your calories should come from fat and currently you are only at 10%.  Eating more fat should help with your hunger as well.
